Oldies, but goodies!

My favorite new Break-up song is Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri. Go listen!

LOL! Great list! I actually like all those, even when I haven't broken up with anyone.

Can't argue with this list of classics. Now I have You're So vain running through my head. Love Carly Simon.

I'd add, any song you love and your ex hates. Loud.

Lots of good tunes here. Love-gone-wrong, with all its heartbreak, is always a great topic for music. Have a nice weekend.

Get off of my cloud! I'd forgotten about that song. Good one.

Oh my gosh. Three Dog Night. I'm in my teenage bedroom and I have the arm of the record player open so the album I snuck from my brother will play again and again and again.

Ha! Interesting follow up to Valentine's Day, Carol. I have a fondness for "Love Hurts" but I'm a drama queen. :)

Have a great weekend!

Gail - Thanks!

Colette - Love that song. Content is perfect, but the title alone didn't convey the feeling as much as these - at least for me.

Delores - Mine, too :)

Linda G - Cool!

Stephen - Enjoy listening to her, LOL!

Great break-up songs, Carol. Hopefully, I won't need to hear them any time soon.

I think this is an oldies list, lol.
I know a few of 'em.
Happy Friday :-)

Carol Kilgore said…
Tracy Jo - Yes, I agree :)

Summer - All oldies.

Laura - I had a few stuck there.

Janet - Thanks.

Joyful - All oldies. I had Bad Romance and Rude Boy in the group, but not as many newer titles seemed to fit, so I decided to go Old School.

I was going to mention "Hit the road, Jack" but Mason beat me to it.

Aaah, I love the Beatles! For me, Dashboard Confessional's first CD has some awesome breakup music. Very moody stuff. :)

Another great list, and I always think of King of the Road right before I close my eyes whenever my husband gets behind the wheel! Julie

Oh man - I haven't listened to Carly Simon forever! I used to listen to her all the time. Now I think I need to find some of her stuff on iTunes. Fun post and great song choices :)
